The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

by Mark Twain (also rec’d by Bob Odenkirk , Bradley Cooper , Dick Cavett , Harold Bloom , Jimmy Buffett , Owen Wilson , Stephen King & Suzanne Vega )

The other crucial American epic. Huck is admirable, astonishingly wise, and always open to the suffering of others. Nothing in American literature has quite the majesty and serenity of the life Huck and Jim live on the raft carrying them down the Mississippi River.
